  • Subject has a history of pancreatitis or cholelithiasis or a history of gastric or duodenal ulcer within 3 months of study entry.
  • Subject has hematologic, digestive, or central nervous system disorder including cerebrovascular disease or degenerative disease that would limit study evaluation or participation.
  • Subject has had a myocardial infarction, coronary bypass surgery, or angioplasty within 6 months of study entry.
